Abstract
This analysis covers 4494 anoikis-related publications (2003–2022). It explores annual trends, top countries, core journals, leading institutions, keywords, references, authors, and collaborations. Key findings include the United States leading in publications, Chulalongkorn University as the top institution, and Oncogene as the most prolific journal. The Journal of Biological Chemistry holds the highest influence. Burst keywords like “signal transduction,” “apoptosis resistance,” “metabolism,” and “tumor microenvironment” highlight emerging research areas. This study offers a comprehensive overview, aiding researchers in grasping anoikis research trends, contributors, and prospects.
